Video Game Reviews of Massive Assault
Customer Review: All-around average.
Summary: 3 Stars
Just spent the last 4-5 hours playing Massive Assault, and I can say, while it wasn't the best turn-based game I've played, it was far from the worst. Where you are fighting these people, in what time period and where did these units come from is never actually explained. Don't ask, just set your units up on the hex-based maps and go kick some butt.
The good:
-Bare-bones unit types and purchase options, but extremely well balanced for hex-based play. No rushes of one unit type mean you can have various different force combinations for more replayability and satisfying tactics.
-Interface is just fine. Without pointless multiple unit abilities and in a turn-based mode (with undo function, ty) you don't need three hands to operate the game, making it ideal for beer and pretzels play with a buddy.
The bad:
-Underwhelmingly scripted, and with maps that are well-balanced but all fairly similar, Massive Assault leaves you longing for "Military Madness", the classic hex-based computer/console game that this title tries and fails to live up to.
-Few maps and a short, linear campaign mode leave you pretty much done with the single player options for this game after several hours.
Verdict: Moderately fun turn-based hex game, if somewhat derivative and unplotted, Massive Assault is fun for a few go-rounds, and at around $4-8 on Amazon is well worth it's dollar value in entertainment.
